How is it that a town less than 20 miles from an interstate highway can lie abandoned?

Yes that happens. Some of the coal towns in southern Colorado went from thousands of people to completely abandoned with barely a half dozen partial buildings remaining in fifty years.

Highways make it easy to just zip past, no reason to stop there. Lots of towns are dead/dying because of freeways.
